Hobo Jungle

While beverage cart is off to parts unknown, the old wash tub makes a fine stand in!!!!!

Willie, you're back! Just a hiatus, or here to stay?

Yeah, Evan. He hits the weight room every day after school. He squats 500 lbs, so he picks me up like a rag doll...



I have a jumble of phone numbers in my address book. Send me the latest in a PM above.
Merry Christmas bro, from the Orangeville clan!

[The Dirt]

Jon, maybe you could weld the volume switch tight at "2".

On the other hand, maybe he'll remember you fondly when the rock-star is dragging home his money in a wheelbarrow!


Well, Kimmy just gave me my present, something to keep me warm in the cold weather.

I appreciate her thoughtfulness, but I'm afraid it's going to be a little tight....

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Daisy.


Legos, Sarge, are apparently sentient aliens with designs on taking over the planet - they outnumber us by better than 50:1 now and I am given to understand that that number will triple in the next few years.

Do any of you hobos remember the old sock advertisement with a hobo lifting a sock out of his cook pot? The caption was something like: "Still good!" The sock had a red toe and heel. Can anyone find a picture of this ad? Maybe Wayne?

Jon, the cart just showed! By the way, who pushes your cart?

Tramp, me and the cart have no need to travel. We're kind of immobile on the back porch!!!

Thank you, Wayne! I believe Norman Rockwell must have painted it. Am I correct?

[2railjon]

Wayne, Remember this one??????

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I believe Norman Rockwell must have painted it.

You are correct. July 2nd 1927, Saturday Evening Post.

[webenda]

Correct Rufus. It was an advertisement inside the magazine, not a cover.

I remember that one Jon. Created years ago during a moment of creativity. Too bad I can't top myself.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Correct Rufus. It was an advertisement inside the magazine, not a cover.

Yes, most associate his work with the covers, but he like many artists also did advertising work.
